Here we have a CSX freight, symbol unknown, but could be a Q2?? due to the fact that it has auto racks, and was headed east for Framingham and Worcester.  The setting is the Route 295 overpass in Chatham, New York on the B&A.  The time is 6:25AM, and the sun is just barely rising over the Taconic range and the Green Mountains of Vermont.  I am unsure of the length of the train, but I can tell you that the engines were AC6000 693 on the point, AC6000 5001 (Diversity In Motion) in the middle, and GP40-2 6206 (yard engine most likely headed for Cedar Hill).  Enjoy the sound of the chugging noise made by the two AC6000's, and also due to the fact that there really isn't much to see except for a sliver of sunrise in the end of the video.  If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me.  Comments are welcome.  The video was taken on October 6th, 2008.
